William Furman, Marsland, and

students at the Peru Normal school,
came to Omaha yesterday and ap
plied (or enlistment. On account of
defective eyesight, Smith failed to
pass the examination and returned
home greatly disappointed.
Furman passed the examination, en
listed in the hospital corps and in a
few days will eo to the training camp
at Fort Logan.
both rurman and smith are active
members in Methodist church work
in Peru and have religious scrunles
against engaging in an occupation
where killing is part of the work. The
need of their country at this time
overcame all objections against going
to war and they ottered their services.
According to furman and smith.
the war has pretty nearly broken up
the Peru school, so far as classes
made up of men are concerned. In the
school out of 100 men, thirty-five have
enlisted.

WATER POWER BIG
PSTION IN STATE
C. H, Cornell Says Oreat Re
source Remains Practically
Undeveloped in Many
Places. v
C. H. Cornell, president of the First
National bank of Valentine, Neb., de
veloper of the first power plant on
the Niobrara river, and a delegate to
the conservation congress, is at the
meeting to see what can be done
about conserving the water power of
the stale and putting it to use in the
place of coal which has to be hauled
in from other states.
"Seems too had," said Mr. Cornell,
"that we people in Nebraska have to
haul fuel a thousand miles when right
at our doors is this great water power.
There's a fall of 4,000 feet in the water
between the Wyoming line and the
Missouri river. Why not put some
of it to use?
"At Valentine I have a twelve-foot
d m and my plant has a capacity of
5.000 horse power. Three hundred of
this is in use at Valentine and I am
hunting a market for the balance. An
other dam could be installed twelve
or fourteen miles further down the
river, and above Valentine still an
other dam could be put in.
"The Koscbud country is certainly
coming. This talk about the farms
being stripped of cattle does not apply
to our country. Our cattlemen and
stockmen are simply shipping in cattle
by the thousands. They are coming
from New Mexico, Arizona, Texas
and even from Idaho. Next year
these same cattle, now so thin and
poor, will come back to Omaha fine
and fat.
"Northern Nebraska is going to
have the finest crop of its history this
year, the season lias been late but its
growing now all right. This hay will
be fed to the cattle next winter That
ought to help feed the country some."
THE HOME OF THE CHICKERING P1ANQ
Misapprehension of
Law Spells Trouble
A misapprehension concerning the
wording of the prohibition law, led to
the arrest of John Krajicek, 2202
South Thirteenth avenue, and the
confiscation of five cases of beer,
fourteen pints of wine, and a half
gallon jug of whisky.
Up to the time prohibition went
into effect, Krajicek conducted a
saloon below his residence. After
May 1, he removed all the remaining
liquor from his saloon to his rooms
upstairs, and converted his saloon into
a near-beer and soft drink empotium.
It was his understanding, he says,
that in so doing he was acting in good
faith with the law. But the law holds
that liquor in connection with a place
of business constitutes a serious frac
ture, so Krajicek was booked to ap
pear in police court this morning to
answrr to the charge of "unlawfully
having intoxicating liquor in his
possession for the purpose of sale,
and at a place not his residence."
